2017 Game Completion Challenge

[celerystalker]

I don't emulate at the moment, and can only play games I actually own (for now). I only have a few Megadrive imports, a handful of various handheld imports, a decent amount of Saturn imports, and a LOT of PC Engine imports (way more than TG-16 games, weirdly enough). With that said, I don't mind the inclusion of an import or two here and there. since there's always going to be something I don't have that others have access to anyway in the weekly picks.

You may want to consider keeping some of the import picks broad though if you decide to incorporate them. Like instead of always using individual titles, you could sometimes just have a broader criteria, like 'an import vertical shooter', or 'any import game based on an Anime license that wasn't released outside of Japan', or 'an import installment that we didn't get here for a series that we did get, etc..

Yeah, I don't emulate myself, so I'm trying to be conscientous about availability. There are some really obscure games I'd like to try to get folks to play, but I think I'll just incorporate them as options much like you're suggesting.

If you'd really like to promote specific import titles you could just offer a Player's Choice A -OR- B (B being a specific import option) each week.

People will always have access to Player's Choice A (your normal picks), since you always make the criteria broad. People who have access to the import titles you'd like to offer up can opt to play it instead of the A option that week to earn their Player's Choice point, if they want. This way no one gets left out, the total possible points remain the same, and you can offer up a different import option a week through out the year, which sounds pretty cool.

Mind you, I'm just throwing out random ideas here.

I like this idea!

For this week's player's choice I was a little bit cheeky and played Wheel of Fortune: Starring Vanna White.








No expense was spared on Vanna's sprites.





Awesome character design.





I won a cruise!

I like this idea as well. One thing to keep in mind is that most of us will probably be relying on emulation for the imports, so at the very least the game (if not the hardware) needs to be emulated well.

Those Wheel of Fortune character designs though!

Think I'm making some progress in Gaia. Up to the pyramid with 4 or 5 of the statues. This the only game in the trilogy I never beat for whatever reason.

I've only got 1 of the statues so far, but I haven't put that much time into it yet. I'm enjoying it so far, but this game has one really annoying thing about it. The game has a tendency to close dialog boxes as soon as you tap something when you didn't realize that one was even going to open. I've missed a lot of one shot dialog boxes, and several of the first box of many exchanges.

I was annoyed by that as well, but at this point don't really feel like I missed anything.

You're getting close! I think it's my favorite of the three, though I did really get into my last playthrough of SoulBlazer. They're all good shit.

IoG is done. That was shorter than I expected.

Edit. I also accomplished the major feat of finishing Snow White and the 7 Dwarves on GBC for players choice. That was a fucking tough one there, I tell ya. I'm starting to get a kick out of pure licensed garbage on handhelds.
